Check out the rave reviews this movie got. From Peter Birro: There is a film in Sweden that is hugely successful this winter. It´s called Fucking Åmål and it´s about the lowlife in asmall Swedish town called Åmål. It is a story about a girl, 16 years old,who is vegetarian and a big Morrissey fan. She realizes that she is in love with the toughest girl in her school and she has the courage totell her that. It is a beautiful, charming, uplifting film about having the guts to live your life the way you want to.
Some people have got no pride they do not understand the urgency of life
In a couple of scenes we can see three lovely posters of Morrissey which, I am proud to say, belong to me! I have been working with the director, Lukas Moodysson, who is also a Moz fan, and he asked me if he could use three or four posters in the film! I want to spread the gospel of Moz, so I said yes, of course!
So far almost 500.000 people in Sweden have seen this film and it is also Sweden's nomination for the Oscars! |

The movie has, for quite obvious reasons, been renamed "Show Me Love" for the American market.
